The Saudi Wildlife Commission has urged the public to help identify the perpetrators who burned a caged fox to death and posted the video online.

Such an act is totally against human nature and values, perpetrated by terrorists and criminals. Their behaviour is exactly like what the members of the so-called Islamic State are doing, killing without mercy.

"Torturing an animal to death is not and cannot be condoned by anyone who claims he is a Muslim. And filming this abominable act to show off makes our heart bleed and deeply disturbs everyone who respects life."

Islam demands that we treat animals with kindness, but animal rights are something almost unheard of here."
